Musical Muses: Fashion Inspired by Arcade Fire
Written by Megan - West Virginia University 9 Comments

French-Canadian indie-rock band Arcade Fire have been making beautiful music since their debut in 2001. Fronted by Win Butler and his wife?Régine Chassagne, the band also includes numerous other members, including Win’s brother William, who all play the vast array of instruments featured in their songs. Both of Arcade Fire’s past albums, Funeral and Neon Bible, have been nominated for Best Alternative Music Grammys, and their recent release of The Suburbs has proved that they still have what it takes to make an excellent record.
Below, I’ve compiled a few outfits based on the creative, diverse nature of the band and their music. If you’re in an end-of-the-semester fashion rut, read on for some inspiration!
Outfit 1: “Empty Room”

The first outfit is inspired by Régine (and the other ladies of Arcade Fire)’s unique and colorful dresses. I love the unexpected vintage details and unique textures that they wear.
For this look, I was particularly inspired by the outfit Régine wore for the band’s performance on last week’s Saturday Night Live, so I found a gold sequin dress to be the focal point of the look. Pair it?with patterned tights, brocade flats, and an elegant cape. and don’t forget gilded accessories like a studded clutch, feather earrings, and sequined hand warmers – a signature part of Régine’s look.

Outfit 2: “Suburban War”

This next look is inspired by Win’s dapper dressing. He is almost always spotted onstage in a buttoned-up?oxford shirt. But this doesn’t mean his look is boring; intriguing details like patches,Air Max 97, studs,3 Features of The New R2A20134 LED Driver IC_6284, trims, and military details add interest to an otherwise plain ensemble.
To get Win’s look, layer a chambray oxford under a military-inspired vest and add edgy pieces like studded boots and a two-finger ring.

Each member of Arcade Fire has a distinct style, and all the unique looks come together to form the band’s image. While it is hard to pinpoint the band’s exact fashion sense as a whole, it certainly has elements of vintage, baroque, hipster,?and goth, for an eclectic feel.
To channel their look,ghds straighteners,Isaac Mizrahi Collaborates with QVC Network - Collection to Include Handbags, Shoes, and Home Accessories_2327, don’t be afraid to mix up your wardrobe and combine pieces that you normally wouldn’t wear together. If you’re hesitant, keep pieces in the same color family as shown below. Add whimsical touches like knee socks and a flower ring for a look that is mysterious and feminine.
